    PRESS KIT Brussels, 17th April 2013 Fête de l'Iris 2013 “See you on 4th and 5th May next for the Fête de l’Iris ! This key occasion in Brussels life reminds us how proud we can be of our identity and reveals the wonderful treasures and joie de vivre of our Region. » Charles Picqué Minister-President of the Government of the Brussels-Capital Region The Brussels-Capital Region celebrates Europe and unveils a new image to the general public On 4th and 5th May 2013, the Brussels-Capital Region celebrates its 24 summers. The perfect opportunity to reaffirm its identity, hopes and ambitions. This key occasion in Brussels life reminds the people of Brussels how proud they can be of belonging here and shows visitors the wonderful treasures and joie de vivre of our Region. « be.brussels » The new «be.brussels» brand, chosen by the Region for its communication purposes, emphasises the role of the federal capital of the Brussels Region by adding the «be» of Belgium, thus symbolising the coming- together, coexistence and ongoing cooperation of the three national communities throughout the region. But «be» also reminds us of the opening-up of Brussels onto Europe and the rest of the world. From summer 2014, this new brand will also become the Internet address of the Region. Therefore, the Web extension «.brussels» will, gradually, towards the middle of next year, replace «.be» for all the key regional players as well as for all those who, whether business enterprises or individuals, wish to associate their name with that of their region.
